  1. Share a few drops of tears for them………. Because they are displaced…. Give them, little from your compassion………. Because they are the dispossessed.

  2. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Reasons for Displacement of Human Habitation Natural hazards – Earthquakes, cyclones, landslides, floods, drought, volcanic eruptions, and epidemic diseases Anthropogenic factors – Developmental activities such as construction of dams, roads, tunnels, etc., which increase the risks of calamities such as floods and landslides. Other factors include accumulation of wastes and environmental pollution

  3. Women constitutes almost half the affected and displaced population in the world.

  4. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R): • It is a multidimensional issue having complex linkages with gender, livelihood and even governance facets. • Main terms involved in 3 R are: • Relief: It means the immediate support offered to the affected persons during a disaster, that disrupts the normal routine of life, causing loss of life and property.

  5. Rehabilitation: Literal meaning of rehabilitation is the restoration of someone to a useful place in society by re- establishing incomes, livelihood, living and social systems. • Resettlement: Is used to define the process of starting of a new life in another part of the country. • Together Rehabilitation and Resettlement promote sustainable development.

  6. Stage 1: Relief Stage 2: Rehabilitation Stage 3: Resettlement

  7. R&R policy frame work Good governance policy inputs Outcome Output Gender and child issues, vulnerable section issues Reduction in inequality and disparity Positive contribution to Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Poverty alleviation, livelihood opportunities Poverty reduction, livelihood promotion Environment issue, Smart Governance Equitable growth and sustainable development

  8. How they are generated? • Infrastructure projects:mainly forced displacement. Sardar Sarovar Project, construction of roads etc. are examples. • Natural calamities: In the form of earthquake, cyclones, famines, floods, acid rains etc. Tsunami occurred at the Asian coasts is one of the ferocious that occurred. • Terrorist Attacks:A real threat to World peace. • Financially deprived: Number of families displaced due to financial crisis. • Wars: The most important and terrific creator of refugees as well as IDPs.

  9. Our country has witnessed and is witnessing a large number of terrorist attacks. • Mumbai bomb blast series, Delhi, Coimbatore bomb-blasts, ULFA attacks at Assam etc are some of them. • The specialty of these attacks is that the innocent people are being murdered or being dispossessed. • Civil outbursts: Internal chaos inside a nation. • Political riots, communal riots and both of these combined. • Refugee flow becomes a head ache for the authorities • Ex- Service men also should be rehabilitated in civil life after their release from the service on account of their truncated career.

  10. What are the problems suffered by the displaced? • Mental problems: Anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, avoidance of total contact with outside world and even suicidal tendency. • Physical problems: Untidy refugee camps invite contagious diseases. Pure water will be a dream. Typhoid, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea attack the camps. • Financial problems: The displaced are dispossessed. They reach a camp leaving all their earnings in their native land. No provisions to buy medicine, construct their own shelter or to educate their young ones. • Disorder: IDPs are considered as a burden by the authority. No proper control from the Government for their resettlement lead to anarchy and confusion.

  11. How they are resettled? • Government undertakes many organizations to resettle the displaced. • Some private or semi-private organizations, referred to as Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) also take fruitful steps: • The Directorate General Resettlement. (DGR) • Office of Refugee Resettlement • Interservice Institution for Ex-service men resettlement • Resettlement Plans • Humanitarian Resettlement (HR) • International Humanitarian Law • International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movements • Local organizations

  12. Expand your heart........ Think........... Don’t they- the dispossessed- too have the right to live in this world? Just keep this in mind..... • They also have the right to breathe the same air that we inhale. So be active in providing the Rehabilitation and Resettlement for the displaced.....

  13. Environmental Ethics Creating a moral sense of environmental conservation in each person is called environmental ethics.

  14. The Contrasting Views • Utilitarian justification (also known as individualistic ethics) • Ecological justification (also known as moral justification) Environmental Equity and Priority Principle Always respect nature except in cases where strong human rights are at stake.

  15. Global Climate Change Weather Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time. Climate Climate change refers to the variation in Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time.

  16. Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming The term greenhouse effect is used to indicate a heat-trapping process caused by gases such as carbon dioxide, and water vapour which are transparent to incoming solar radiations but re-emit the infrared radiations from Earth's surface. Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of Earth as a whole as a result of greenhouse effect.

  17. Greenhouses Gases • Carbon dioxide • Methane • Nitrous oxide • Chlorofluoro carbons

  18. Activities Responsible for Emission of Greenhouse Gases • Fossil-fuel burning • Industrial processes • Deforestation • Livestock • Paddy fields • Biomass burning • Coal mining

  19. Environmental Effects of Global warming • Weather extremes • Rise in sea level • Agricultural production • Storms • Adverse effects on human health • Loss of ecosystems and biodiversity

  20. Control measures • Reduction in the use of fossil fuels • Shifting to the renewable energy sources that do not emit greenhouse gases • Increasing the use of energy efficient and cleaner production technologies • and practices • Reducing deforestation, adopting better forest management practices, and • undertaking afforestation to sequester carbon Kyoto Protocol Stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climatic system
